I would like to redirect domain A that is not secure (http) to domain B that is secure (https) that has a let's encrypt ssl cert already installed. I believe the answer to my question is to utilize the rewrite rules. But, the documentation is a little difficult to understand -for me. Any help, with examples would be awesome.
Hi @michel92df116ca8bc0546fb67
You can use the following method to redirect by changing your VirtualHost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainA.com
Alias www.domainA.com
Redirect / https://www.domainB.com/
</VirtualHost>
And the restart Apache with sudo apachectl restart
If everything works, then change it to Redirect permanent / https://www.domainB.com/
In the case of nginx, you would use
server {
listen 80;
server_name domainA.com;
return 302 https://domainB.com/;
}
Change to 301 for a permanent redirect.
If you wish to include everything that might have followed the domain:
server {
listen 80;
server_name domainA.com;
return 301 https://domainB.com$request_uri;
}
Thank you for the help!
Unfortunately, did not work. When testing via a browser the error is "domain A's server DNS address could not be found."
I assume I need to point domain A to domain B's IP address for this to work correctly?
I figured it out. Thanks.
